IGBO-SON:
^^^Abegi make persin hia word! So the people that used all the dirty tricks in the book to scheme him out of contention for the APGA primaries.....they didn't seem desperate to you?

Anambra voters are well informed and they can vote for Soludo as Governor and still vote GEJ for President.

Nice one Soludo!

naptu2: Dr William MacGregor was a colonial governor of Lagos. He was a medical doctor and so he was naturally interested in improving healthcare in Lagos.

One thing that particularly caught his attention was malaria. In order to combat this problem he embarked on a programme of "reclaiming" swamps and constructed a canal, The MacGregor Canal, that separated Lagos Island from Ikoyi Island.

You could get a ferry from Obalende, behind FRCN (the present Dolphin Estate), etc, to the mainland. Egun women fished in that canal.

Then the Gowon Administration embarked on a massive public works programme. They rebuilt Carter Bridge, built Eko Bridge, planned to build the 3rd Mainland Bridge and built a Ring Road to encircle the City of Lagos (at that time the City of Lagos was basically Lagos Island). The Ring Road starts at the foot of 3rd Mainland Bridge, goes past Ilubirin, past Obalende, Onikan and Marina and leads to Apongbon and the Eko Bridge.

In order to build the Ring Road, they had to fill in part of MacGregor Canal.

I wish I still had my 1974 Lagos map. The city was much different then.

I'll show you pictures.

Shine It: Master servant relationship in the new Yoruba/Hausa relationship.

candiva2013: you need to think again if you think SE is minority. Forget about the past census that was manipulated for u guys just for political gains. Let me tell you, most people here don't even know the duties of a president hence they criticise GEJ, they are too ignorant to see the good works of GEJ, I don't blame them. The reason why most people criticise GEJ is because they are not happy that a s. southerner is the president, and they believe he is contesting again. This people believe that they supposed to be in power. If GEJ contests again, he will surely win, forget about your emotional permutations

luvmijeje: I see! This is definitely not looking good for the president.

musiwa1h: The honest truth is, a lamido/amachie ticket will lead to civil war. there will be no peace in Nigeria. The first thing they will blow up are all of the bridges across the river niger and benue, there will be more than 10,000 bombing from the west and east. if i know nigeria very well. I am not saying you should vote for Jonathan. i am not a bias person.


I am just saying nigeria is at a point, where the only solution is to break up Nigeria back to the 3 unit. . Obasanjo is only saying so because he want to save his business.

saxywale: Damn, you shot yourself in the foot son.

Nepa Light: Shut up liar!! - Wikipedia is never a reliable source. I bet you don't even know every gorilla with pea size brain CAN edit Wikipedia and put up useless figures. The same Wikipedia told us Ijaws are more populated than the ibos.



Rivers = Shell, Total, Chevern, Agip

Akwa Ibom = Exxon Mobil

Bayelsa = Shell and Agip

Delta = Shell and Chevron

South East = Akpu and Red muds.

Show me one company with any live crude oil producing well in entire south east. Just show me ONE!! --- Nada!!

One_Naira: You're mentally challenged it look it. I am not even going to try to decipher what the Bleep this is suppose to say.

One_Naira: First of South west have no crude oil. The ijaws in SW have crude oil. Don't try to steal other's property.
Limestone is irrelevant. Even Abia has limestone. Irrelevant
At least You finally answered my question. At least I now know you people are not just a bunch of dead weight waiting for others to feed you. You contribute small.

BTW: The Coal income alone demolishes the cocoa income so Shut up with the hurray in

THE profile of Nigeria’s cocoa export business sustained its rising trend last year, as the nation earned $900 million (N142 billion), against $882.9 million realised in the previous year, from the commodity’s trade in the global market.http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=115800:nigerias-cocoa-export-business-hits-900m&catid=31:business&Itemid=562

One_Naira: On one breath I lumped SS and SE together. Either you are blindly or you are deliberately trying to be silly. Last I checked, each of my reply listed the two region contribution SEPARATELY.

Ondo produces oil, I gave it to you guys but the section of Ondo that produces oil belongs to Ijaw. Shikena

Nepa Light: He's ibo so don't.expect much from him.

One_Naira: The funny thing about you lot is that when other's put you on blast, you resort to calling SE. I'm not SE so you can shout SE all you want.
Resources alone
North provides the argiculture of this nation. Granted the nation still trade for food. The north are contributing something.
SE contributes oil in three states, coal and copper.
SS contributes oil in more than one states
SW contributes nothing. Other than the Ijaws in Ondo state region providing oil.

You can leave, you ain't giving anyone anyting. You can bust a vein all you want but leeches are leeches and I don't like leeches.

As for the Ondo being the most industrious state in Nigeria. LMFAO. You and I know that's a damn lie from the pit of hell. But like I been saying, good. we don hear. You can take it and leave

figment232: Tell me wot humble means.i restate dat GEJ is idle presido 4 9ja

bokohalal: Is this true? I had a telephone conversation with someone in Nigeria about a month ago who claimed that Jonathan Goodluck is arming Ijaws to breakaway from Nigeria.

bugmenot:

Great development, I must say. I would have loved to see solar power in the list, but great development all the same. Eko o'ni baje lai lai!!!

naptu2: He was once a pilot. He went into management and was the Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Nigeria.

agbameta: Yes....
